I don't know how far back in history one has to go, but a few chains had machines that would automatically print out the books you wanted, while you browsed the rest of the store.

There were three major issues with those machines:
  • The cost of paper and ink;
  • MSRP for the book was skyhigh --- roughly a quarter per page;
  • Limited selection of titles;
